**Author's Note:**

It...It just wasn’t  _ fair. _

 

Tsuna could only stare in shock as Hayato began to violently cough up blood. He felt numb to the bone as he watched as the others as well began to kneel over blood falling from their own mouths.

 

This was  _ supposed _ to be the last step of the harmony.

 

This was  _ supposed _ to just snap into place and everything will be okay.

 

**_They_ ** were  **_supposed_ ** to be his  **_guardians_ ** .

 

So why...why are they rejecting his flames?

  
  
  


“-In short Tsuna’s flames are more powerful than we first originally thought, it's no wonder his flames aren't compatible with them since they themselves are levels lower than Tsuna’s flames,” Shamal said while talking to Nono. Nono sighs his eyes held sadness knowing too well what that means, He cast his gaze towards Tsuna before looking away. As a sky, a lost harmony is dreadfully painful. Nono nodded his thanks and walked outside to give Tsuna time to mourn the loss of harmony. 

 

Tsuna just looked outside the window, he didn’t want to think about anything at the moment. He just wanted to just forget that this even happens in the first place. He was in the medical wing of the vongola mansion. Seventeen and close to become the newest head, the last step was to secure his guardians to him. But…

 

Tears trailed silently down Tsuna’s face as he numbly sat and looked outside the window, his mind in a faraway place where none could hurt him. Not now, not when all that he built upon collapse like wet paper.

 

“Yo Tsuna! The great Skull-sama has come to-...Tsuna?” Skull abruptly stopped walking staring at the broken sky before him. Turning to his left he asked Shamal what has happened and was told the unfortunate truth. 

 

Tsuna didn’t once look at Skull still in mourning of the lost harmony.

 

Skull didn’t like that.

 

Tsuna let out a small squeak of surprise leave him as he was picked up and slung over Skulls shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

 

“S-Skull?! Put me down!” Tsuna yelled angry at the sudden contact from the silly cloud. Skull just laughed obnoxiously before sprinting out of the room and ran outside while Tsuna continued to scream insults and bang his fist on Skulls back.

 

Honestly speaking Tsuna knows that he’s acting like a total brat, but he has an excuse.

 

Abruptly Skull stops and finally puts Tsuna down. Tsuna grumbles under his breath before turning back around to go in his room and stay there forever.

 

“Tsuna.”

 

Tsuna stops and turns back towards Skull his motorcycle in already running and hand outstretched towards him. Tsuna freezes, what does he do? Does he go back towards his room and fully mourn the loss of harmony, or does he go with Skull to forget just for a little bit about today?

 

“....”

 

“....”

 

“.....”

 

Tsuna reaches his hand out and Skull smiles in return. Skull gently curls his fingers around Tsuna, his flames ever so slightly nuzzle Tsuna own.

 

Tsuna and Skull rode, they rode for hours until the stars began to hang above them and the sounds of the crickets and frogs are heard. Tsuna lets his head rest of Skull’s back his body flushed with Skulls own as he tightly wraps his arms around Skulls waist. The thrumming of the motorcycle engine slowly lulling Tsuna to sleep, so by the time he gets back he goes inside to his room and falls asleep almost immediately. 

 

That night Tsuna dreamt of riding Skull’s motorcycle for hours and hours, never once wanting to leave Skulls side and just enjoy the scenarios that pass by.

  
  


\----

 

The door clicked shut disturbing Tsuna from his paperwork. He glanced up and spotted his former tutor now advisor Reborn.

 

“...Not that I don’t like your company, but what did you do Reborn?”

 

“Nothing you can prove,” Reborn said smuggling while lounging on the couch in front of Tsuna’s desk.

 

A few weeks have already passed since the ‘discovery’ of his harmony.

 

‘ _ Not his harmony. Never was, to begin with _ .’ Tsuna thought bitterly. 

 

Ever since then the other former guardians have scattered wanting to mourn in their own ways leaving Tsuna all alone in the Vongola mansion. For reasons unknown, the other Arcobaleno have decided to stay in the Vongola mansion helping out on what they can. While he’s rather thankful he is also puzzled by the sudden move-in.

 

Hell, they even started to have movie/game nights when none of them are busy.

 

“Please tell me you didn’t bury Skull alive again, it wasn’t funny the first time nor the other five times,” Tsuna asked bluntly already used to Reborns morbid sense of humor.

 

“Please Tsuna you think so little of me.” Reborn say rather coyly. He leaned back on the couch as Tsuna heard distant yells from outside the garden. Turning to look outside he let his head bang on the desk with a loud thunk when he noticed the garden was on fire.

 

“Everything is set ablaze,” Reborn said delightedly with himself. Tsuna let out a small groan already feeling a headache from the cost of fixing the now destroyed garden.

 

“ _ Reborn  _ why do you do this? Is it because Colonello is gone? Or did Verde dare you again? Seriously Reborn you’re older than me, why do you act so childish.” Tsuna wailed out defeated by Reborn without even trying.

 

“Childish? You insult me Tsuna. Is this-” Reborn got up and with long strides, he leaned over Tsuna’s desk with a leg resting on the desk and a hand yanking on Tsuna’s tie pulling him closer to the hitman. “ -Childish?” Reborn asked with a purr in his voice.

 

“W-Wha? Re-Reborn!” Tsuna flared and pushed away from Reborn forcing him back on his chair. Tsuna was a blushing mess as Reborn gazed at him with an unreadable look. Tsuna continued to fumble with his tie to try and straighten it out once more. Meanwhile Reborn just fully sat on Tsuna’s desk planting both his feet on Tsuna’s armrest. 

 

“-Sir there’s been an accident in the-” The maid squeaked as she saw the hitman and her boss in a compromising pose. “P-Please excuse me!” The door clicked shut as the maid all but ran from the room blushing furiously.

 

“Wait! It’s not!” Tsuna let out a frustrated noise in the back of his throat as the door was already closed. Tsuna then pouted at Reborn annoyed at the hitman.

 

“Well this has been fun,” Reborn said finally getting off of Tsuna’s desk while patting Tsuna on the head. Tsuna let out a whine annoyed by the hitman already. “But I have to bury a lackey, see you for game night,” Reborn said pulsing out a little sun flames out to Tsuna’s inviting sky flames. Smiling to himself Reborn finally left the room not once hearing Tsuna pleads to stop bullying Skull.

 

Oh, the chaos that will come from this harmony makes his body sing. 

  
  


\-----

 

“HIE!” Tsuna let out another ear-piercing shriek as a zombie popped right in front of him. He held Vipers arm in a death grip trying to flush his body with the mist espers. 

 

“Mou, how do you find this scary? Look the others in front of us aren't even scared and they're  _ five _ .” Viper said rather annoyed by Tsuna’s continues scream exercises.

 

Three months have passed since the Arcobaleno moved into the Vongola mansion bringing chaos with them. At the moment they are at the amusement park seeing as Skull got them all tickets to the amusement park to have some fun.

 

Though the minute they crossed the entrance they all had scattered to the four winds, all wanting to do their own things. Reborn and Colonello were off doing god know what but Tsuna will bet all his money and then some that they are both causing some sort of mayhem. Surprisingly Lal and Skull both want to go on all the rollercoasters finding them fun and exciting. Fon on the other hand just disappears with Verde muttering under their breath about some sort of idea. But Tsuna has long since learned to just tune them out when they get like that. Throughout all this only Viper had stayed by his sight and as long as he doesn’t whine too much and pay for everything ( which isn’t a problem seeing as he  _ is  _ a mafia boss to-be) they’ve been just walking around and going on easy going rides.

 

Except that this ride was misleading with its name, like who the hell calls a haunted house “Walking Through Excitement”?

 

“I can’t! No more!” Tsuna yelled as a giant spider fell from above the ceiling while clinging onto Viper. Viper just signs tugging the vongola heir towards the exit.

 

“I should have stayed home and finished counting my money, Mou! Why do I always get stuck in these situations when I’m not even paid for them!” Viper said while walking around the creepy swinging door. They’re a mist so of course, they can make figures a thousand times scarier than this half ass job. Seriously who pays so much for service so crappy?

 

“Along with that, why are you holding onto me of all people? I heard from reborn how you run from your fears.” Viper asked as Tsuna let out another squeak burying his head in the crook of Vipers neck trying to get comfort from the greedy mist.

 

If it wasn’t Skull comment a few months back they wouldn’t even have let Tsuna grab them in the first place, they are a mist flame user after all.

 

“B-Because you’re safe.”

 

Viper froze at those words, never have they ever been a source of safety, they are usually someone's fears, to begin with, so for Tsuna to say they are safe...It warms a part of them they didn’t realize exist.

 

“With you here, I know that no one can touch me, you’ll protect me by hiding me in your mist,” Tsuna said while rubbing his head on Vipers shoulder his own sky flames began to rise and twist around the Arcobaleno mist in a flame dance. Vipers own preen at the compliment and the undertone of what it implies.

 

“Boo!”

 

“Wah!”

 

When they all gather together everybody wonders why Viper’s face is all red in both embarrassment and anger while Tsuna just continues to die of laughter on the floor.

 

No one will ever know how Viper had screamed in the haunted house.

  
  


\---------

  
  


Tsuna let out a choked off sob as he was jerked from his sleep. He gasps for air in the giant room, his bed far too big for his small frame as he tried to gather his thoughts.

Finally calming his breath after a few short minutes he put an arm over his face as he tried to silence his hiccups.

 

_ ‘It was just another bad dream again, wait no he really didn’t harmonized with those he thought were his. Never was his, to begin with _ .’

 

Tsuna let out another shuddered breath as he slowly felt the room too big and his form too small. Slowly he rose from his bed and paddled towards the door to leave and go anywhere but here, here where the darkness and emptiness seem to mock him.

 

As he drifted from one hallway to another he began to feel more relaxed, less scared and alone then he had originally been. A sudden noise from the living room had him edging closer trying to figure out who else was up in this ungodly hour.

 

“Colonello I told you that it's my turn to choose the movie, you already had last weeks.”

 

“But Lal! This movie is a must! Come on! Please!”

 

“ _ No! _ ”

 

Tsuna took a peek inside and spotted both Lal and Colonello sprawled on the living room couch while a pile of DVDs covered half the coffee table. Trying to lean in a bit further to see which movie Colonello was talking about he accidentally pushed the door further in letting out a soft squeak.

 

Immediately both Lal and Colonello halted their conversation and stared at the door their defenses up just in case.

 

“Tsuna?”

 

“Kora! What are you doing up this late?”

 

“I could ask you both the same,” Tsuna said finally pushing the door to the side to walk towards the two Rains. Colonello gave a goofy grin while Lal rolled her eyes in exasperation. 

 

“Since both of us are on ‘sick leave’ we have been trying to watch every movie that we haven't yet watched,” Lal said while gesturing towards her bandage stomach.

 

Both Colonello and Lal were hit by a loose grenade, if it wasn’t their fast thinking the both would have been bed rested for more then two weeks. As of right now they are allowed to move around but are forced to not take any more missions until they are fully healed.

 

_ “Well, there goes my sex life.” _

 

**_SLAP!_ **

 

_ “Ouch! Lal! I was joking.” _

 

_ “Your face is going to be a joke when I’m done with you!” _

 

Tsuna coughed in his hand trying to suppress the laughter that wanted to surface when he remember that incident. Honestly, he wouldn’t know what he would have done had he not left to the room to laugh his ass off.

 

“Speaking of, why are you up Tsuna?” Colonello asked draping an arm over my back as I grab a random DVD and read the summary. I gave a weak shrug not wanting them to know the reason for my late night despair.

 

“Just had a nightmare, nothing big, I just need to cool my head a little.”

 

Both Colonello and Lal shared a look before going back to picking a movie as though they were never talking in the first place. Tsuna was glad as he really doesn't feel like being remembered of the failure of his harmony.

 

_ ‘...Sometimes being too strong isn’t everything, not if it means being alone.’ _

 

Soon the lights were turned off and we were rearranged again, with me sitting in Colonello’s lap while Lal leaned on Colonello’s shoulder and softly ran her hands through my untamed hair slowly lulling me to sleep. Lazily I could feel their twin rain flames twine with my own flames in a soft dance, so gently and safe feeling like a lovers embrace.

 

In the morning Tsuna awoke in his own bed lying between the twin rains as their flames coated the whole room in their flames promising protection and safety.

 

Suddenly his nightmares began to fade more and more quickly and be replaced with wonderful dreams of sleeping near a windowsill while watching the rain slowly pour gently pulling those who watch and hear its gentle lullaby.

  
  


\--------------------------

 

“….I-I have no words.”

 

“A thank you would be enough.”

 

“...Verde, I don’t think you see the problem, do you?”

 

Verde gave Tsuna a puzzled look as he stood next to his latest creation. Robot security made for Tsuna seeing as he ‘bring chaos wherever he goes’ prompt Verde to give Tsuna extra security. The security robot wouldn’t have been bad.

 

If Verde hadn’t made it attack anyone who came even ten feet close.

 

Now Tsuna stood in the middle of the hallway as maids and butlers shrieked in fear being chased by the robot.

 

“Verde if you don’t turn your creation off right now I’ll lock the lab for a week.” Tsuna threatened to make Verde frown towards the vongola boss. 

 

Rolling his eyes Verde reached into his lab coat to grab the remote. Looking Tsuna straight in the eyes, Verde quickly pressed the off button to turn off the robot.

 

Nothing happens.

 

Now alarmed Verde began to frantically press on the button baffled at the error. Verde swears he had tested it this morning and it was working just fine just until a little while ago.

 

**“DECIMO! WATCH OUT!”**

 

Verde didn’t even feel himself move before he had put up a shield surrounding both him and Tsuna from the oncoming blast. 

 

Waiting a few more minutes Verde finally put down the shield long enough to shoot a blast of his own towards his corrupted creation. Honestly, all that two weeks works wasted.

 

“U-Um.”

 

Verde turned to Tsuna and finally noticed their position.

 

In his panic Verde had all but dragged Tsuna flush against his own body his arm wrapped tightly on Tsuna’s hips and another cupping his neck to force Tsuna to press against Verde’s own body.

 

“....My mistake.” Verde said stiffly, finally, he pulled away from the sky his own lightning flames whine at being separated from the loving sky’s own flames, but pushed that aside to give Tsuna space.

 

“N-No it’s ok. But you really need to stop creating me bodyguards Verde, I got Reborn and Fon and if not them then there’s Lal and Colonello.” Tsuna said wagging a finger at Verde’s stoic face.

 

“Understood.”

 

“Yes, yes….Wait? Understood? Verde, what are you thinking about? Verde? VERDE!”

 

A few weeks later Tsuna continued working trying to push back the embarrassment and anger towards the lightning. Oh, he got what he wanted, no more robot bodyguards.

 

Though the newest security cameras are starting to get on Tsuna’s nerves seeing as they hold the power of shooting anyone that some much as threatening Tsuna.

 

Damn it! He just found another in his own goddamn bedroom! He’ll talk to Verde soon enough. That is if he can find his latest hiding spot.

 

That overprotective lighting of his, he swears.

  
  


\------------------

  
  


Tsuna for once had an off day surprisingly enough. So Tsuna decided for once to relax once and for all.

 

By cooking of course.

 

“Fon do you think I added too much chilling?” 

 

Fon walked over to Tsuna both wearing aprons as they both decided to cook together. He took the ladle and pour it into a small cup to taste. Nodding once to himself FOn shook his head making Tsuna beam back towards the Arcobaleno storm guardian.

 

“ Not at all, though I would add a few more herds just to balance out the flavors.”

 

“Okay!” Tsuna chirped while putting a few more herbs inside the pot. Putting back the top Tsuna began to grab the plates to put the food inside.

 

Now almost eight months have passed since the Arcobaleno has moved inside the Vongola mansion and since that failed attempt of harmonizing. Tsuna is almost back to normal, but he does relapses which never last long since there is always an Arcobaleno nearby to distract him from his own negative thoughts. 

 

His former guardians have not once return making his heart squeeze painfully. He didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye.

 

“Tsuna do you need some help?”

 

Tsuna snapped out from his downward spiral of despair when he remembered where he was. Nodding towards the Storm user he gave a bashful smile gesturing towards the top of the cabinet.

 

Coming closer Fon form loomed over Tsuna’s own as he reached above Tsuna’s petite form.

 

Blushing and heart thumping Tsuna watched as Fon arms are held above his head giving him a good view of Fon’s sharp jaw and showing Fon’s long eyelashes framing his eyes quite nicely. Trailing his eyes down he spotted Fon’s tattoo dragon wrapped around Fon’s left arm. His usually hidden muscles finally on displace for Tsuna to admire.

 

“Here you go Tsuna,I could see why you’ll have trouble with these plates seeing how short you are.”

 

….And the illusion was gone.

 

“FON!” Tsuna sputtered in embarrassment as he snatched the plates form the smiling martial artist. 

 

Muttering under his breath Tsuna walked away from the tackless man that was Fon. Fuming slightly at the jab of his height, It wasn’t Tsuna’s fault that he had stopped growing after he turned sixteen!  

 

Finally done and ready to be eaten, both Tsuna and Fon sat to eat. Giving a quick thanks Tsuna finally began to eat his food ging a happy hum of the flavors dancing along his taste buds. Looking across from him Fon ate his in a short slowly bites savoring the meal as though it would be is last. 

 

It seems that Tsuna was looking a bit too much since Fon gave Tsuna a gently smile tilting his head towards Tsuna.

 

“It is really good Tsuna, we should cook more often.”

 

Tsuna flushed bright red at the compliment feeling his own flames preen at the compliment. 

 

Fon feeling Tsuna’s sky flame rise began to rise his own storm letting them mingle and dance to their own beat.

 

Once done the two headed towards the garden to walking around the blooming garden.

 

Their flames continue to twine further and further in their own special dance thrumming with safety and happiness

 

\-------

  
  


Tsuna blinked his eyes then blinked once more.

 

...Why was the room still dark?

 

He tried to move his arms when he felt them be restricted, now beginning to panic Tsuna began to tugging them even harder as they laid above his head tied onto his headboard if he was to guess.

 

He felt a warm hand trail down his bare chest.

 

Damn near dislocating his own shoulder, Tsuna began to truly panic as dread sank in. Flaring his sky flames to try and burn off his restraints and possibly his molesters off, he was stopped as another flame pushed his down.

 

…..What?

 

Curious now Tsuna rose his flames once more and again they were smacked down by seven other flames. 

 

Calming his breath he felt a deep sensation of knowing these flames as though they were his once. Fighting down a full body shiver as he felt a mouth over his chest Tsuna continued to be tense over the intruders.

 

That was a piercing.

 

His eyes flew open, not once did he realize that he had closed them, to begin with.

 

“S-Skull?”

 

Felling the body shift he felt another body hover his own.

 

“Close Dame-Tsuna.”

 

“Re-Reborn!”

 

Finally, the blindfold was taken off making Tsuna blink form the sudden brightness of his room. Taking a quick check he spotted all of the Arcobaleno on his bed all in various position.

 

All of them looking to eat him alive making him shiver at their stare.

 

“Well since it seems you’re too dense to notice, we decided to take what is ours.”

 

“Mou, Tsuna is such a tease I should charge you for making us wait for so long.”

 

“Kora! Tsuna you flames are too much It’s a miracle we held off this long.”

 

Tsuna turns from Reborn to Viper then Colonello confused on what they meant.

 

“Wh-What? What’s going on? What do you want from me?”

 

Tsuna flinched when he felt Skull rolling his hips upwards as he laid on Tsuna’s crotch. Tsuna suppressed a small whimper that wanted to escape as the rest of the Arcobaleno all having a silent discussion.

 

“We wish to finish our harmony, as romantic soulmates,” Fon said stunning Tsuna in his place.

 

Slowly his face turns blank before tears began to gather in his eyes.

 

“B-But it didn’t work. Not with them. What if it doesn’t this time too? I-I can’t not again.” Tsuna let a few tears fall from his flushed face as he remembers the pain of being forced to break the unfinished harmony.

 

Reborn gently wiped away his tears as he leaned in to kiss them away, Tsuna gave small hiccups as his emotions ran wild.

 

Seven pair of flames curled gently with Tsuna’s own sky flames thrumming with protection.

 

“Do not worry  **_mio Cielo_ ** . We’ll catch you, you won’t fall this time we promise.”

 

Suddenly the usually dance that the flames usually took made a sharp turn, turning more forceful as they rubbed against the willing sky flames. 

 

Tsuna suddenly arched his back as he felt his soul sing in a way it has never been before. Feeling ten times hotter Tsuna began to pant as his chest rose rapidly and sweat began to gather.

 

He needed something, something he couldn’t name. Suddenly their position was too far for the frantic sky.

 

He let out a small wail as he tried to call for his guardians to cool his burning body.

 

Tsuna is pushed further into the mattress as Reborn began to devour his mouth never once breaking his lips from the willing sky as Skull began to rock his hips forwards making Tsuna moan into Reborn’s mouth.

 

“M-Mine. You’re mine right?”

 

His surrounding guardians' eyes flash as they gathered around the submissive sky.

 

**_“Yes.”_ **

  
  


Tsuna didn’t know when it happened but when his head began to unclog from the overwhelming pleasure, he found himself on knees his arms still bound and being thrust from behind by Reborn. His moans were muffled by Fon’s cock being rocked inside his mouth. Skull was underneath him as Skull wrapped his legs around Tsuna pushing Tsuna cock further inside.

 

The room was hot, he could barely focus on anything as Reborn abused his sweet spot. Shifting around Skull let out a scream as Tsuna brushed Skull’s prostate and tighten up even further.

 

Reborn hold on Tsuna’s hips began to tighten as he neared his orgasm. Fon hips began to stutter as Tsuna felt his cock swell for release.

 

“T-Tsuna I-I’m gonna!-”

 

Skull passage began to spasm as he came hard. He arched his back his body flushed with Tsuna as Tsuna felt his eyes roll to the back of his head and let out a silent scream. His vision went white as he felt Reborn and Fon release as well.

 

His breathing was coming back as he began to pick up his thoughts once more. It dawned on him that he was now on his back with Colonello spreading his legs for around two. Tsuna let out a small squeak as Lal sat on his lap and began to jerk him off. It wasn’t too long before Tsuna was hard once more and Lal took the chance and lowered herself onto Tsuna’s cock. Lal and Tsuna moaned out as Colonello finally had enough and began to enter Tsuna.

 

“S-Stop, You’ll break me.” Tsuna panted out as the twin rain began to move.

 

“Then break, we’ll put you back together mio Cielo,” Colonello said snapping his hips forwards making Tsuna scream out in pleasure. Lal leaned down and began to french kiss the sky leaving Tsuna breathless.

 

Reborn watched on as he watches their sky be taken by the rest of his pack-mates. His ear twitched as he heard someone knock on the door. Getting off the bed he strolled towards the door, his shirt gone while his pants hung loosely on his hips.

 

Once at the door he leaned on the door frame blocking anyone to look inside. He gripped the doorknob and hear the too familiar click finally meeting the person who dared try to peek on **_their sky_ ** .

 

“Juudaime, we’re so sorry for leaving you all alone. We came to try again to be your harmony-”

 

Hayato froze as he looked directly into the hitman's eyes, his blood ran cold as the rest of the gang backed up as Reborns own sun flames began to flare at the declaration. 

 

“I believe you are too late. He’s our sky now.”

 

The gang just stared at Reborns smug face as bitterness began to settle in the pit of their stomach.

 

Tsuna is heard as he screamed out his second orgasm drowning out any other noise.

 

Reborn turned away from the rejected guardians and slowly shut the door with a gentle click.

 

They were far too late. They screwed up the minute the harmony didn’t snap into place.

  
  
  


When the inheritance ceremony began Tsuna was surrounded by his guardians. Yes, none can harm Vongola, not if they want to answer to his Arcobaleno guardians.
